Suspects Caught as Series of Weekend Robberies Keep Police Busy Loot valued at several hundred dollar was recovered and four men arrested over the weekend as many robberies were reported to police throughout South Jersey. Three of the men arrested were captured in Gloucester when merchandise stolen from a Westville Grove store and garage was found in their automobile. The fourth man was arrested in Camden. Those under arrest in Gloucester, are Joseph Rietseh, 47, of 1245 Palmer street; Joseph Dorman, 18, of 103 Chango street, and Charles Headley, 18, of 936 North Fourth street, all of Philadelphia. The loot found in their car consisted of automobile tires, cigarettes, safety razors, tubes and other articles. It had been stolen from the store and garage of George A. Fields, Delsea Drive, Westville Grove. The three men were arrested by Patrolmen Walter Lane and William Fowler. who stopped their car because it had but one headlight. Taken back to Westville the three men were held without bail for the grand jury by Recorder Charles H. Benner. Held For TheftWhen he walked down Federal Street with an oil stove Armstead Saunders, 56, of 314 Taylor Avenue, was stopped by the police Saturday night. An investigation revealed he had picked it up as he passed the second-hand store of W. L. Ernest, 408 Federal Street, according to Patrolmen Walter Patton and Raymond Stark. Saunders will have a hearing today before Police Judge Pancoast, on a charge of larceny. James Josephson, 3320 Lancaster Avenue, Philadelphia, a salesman for the Household Institute of New York reported the loss of two cases of aluminum ware and an investigation was conducted by Detective Sylvester McGrath.

relieved him of his watch, valued $35, and his drivers license. McMakin
was unable to describe the culprits. William Harris, 53, of 1731 Fillmore Street, told Detective Clifford Carr he was relieved of his wallet containing $6.90 by an unknown man at Haddon Avenue and Copewood Street, Sunday morning.

RE-ENACTED; TWO MEN HELD The $11,790
payroll holdup staged last Friday at the Radio Condenser Co., Thorne and
streets, was, re-enacted yesterday. Two
suspects nabbed late Monday, at Lykens in Dauphin County, Pa., played
the "heavy" roles. Also in the cast were eight women and two
men, employees of the firm. For an hour and 20 minutes the spectacular
robbery was "rehearsed" under the direction of three Camden
detectives. When the
curtain was, rung down LeRoy Jenkins, 23, who police say has addresses
at 1161
Street and 1220 Princess
Avenue, and Joseph Putek, 23, said to reside at 1462 Louis
street, were held on suspicion.
They will be questioned further today. Has Nothing Definite Acting Chief
of Police John W. Golden
admitted he "has nothing on the boys." Detectives Benjamin
Clarence Arthur and Clifford
Del Rossi, however, "were pressing pursuit of
"hunches" and meager clues in attempts to solve the crime.
There were several lines of information they obtained regarding the two
suspects which will bear further study, Simon
said. Putak, who
has a po1ice record although never convicted according to
police, was questioned previously in connection with the Radio Condenser
"job." He was released at midnight last Saturday. After that the detectives centered attention upon Jenkins. They learned
Jenkins borrowed an automobile from a man who operates a garage in the
1200 block on Atlantic
Avenue. The garageman was reluctant to talk but under
threat of arrest as an accessory he admitted lending a car to Jenkins. Fliers were
dispatched to police throughout Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware and New
Jersey. The car was halted at Williamsport, Pa. and when Camden police
were identified they were surprised that Putak was Jenkins' companion.
This stirred detectives to renewed vigor in the
probe. They learned the men were planning to visit relatives, of Jenkins
in Williamsport and Pottsville. Acording to Simon police of both cities say Jenkins is
well known to them. While at
Williamsport the three detectives learned Putak and Jenkins
visited a vice den and quarreled with a woman over money. They quoted
Jenkins as declaring that he "could buy and sell the joint!' Had Little Money Putak had but
$3 when released Saturday and $11 when arrested, Simon revealed. He told the detectives he had won money in a
poker game here. The
two men were returned with the detectives as far as Philadelphia but
refused to cross the river. They were turned over to police there on
suspicion and. brought to this city yesterday afternoon. Taken to the
Radio Condenser plant they were confronted with the ten employees who
were herded in a vault during the holdup last Friday. According
to Simon
several of the employees felt there were certain mannerisms of the
suspects which corresponded with actions of the bandits but confessed
they were unable to definitely identify Putak or Jenkins as the heavily
masked pair who threatened their lives with a revolver and
. The
detectives propose an inquiry to al1 banks in this area in an effort to learn whether safe deposit boxes were leased by
anyone answering the description of the suspects. The money obtained in
the robbery was in bills and change of small denomination,
numbers of the bills were not available. Although
never convicted Jenkins has a police record. Putak has never been
formally under arrest, but has been questioned by the police in
connection with various cases. Jenkins was
arrested December 18, 1931, charged with larceny of gasoline, and on last July 9 was charged with several robberies.
On April 2, 1931, he was held for the grand jury, charged with manslaughter after his automobile killed Mrs. Mary Cavanaugh, 70, a cook in the service of City Solicitor E. G. C. Bleakly. |

SUSPECTS HELD IN PAYROLL HOLD-UP Held
as suspects in the $11,790 Radio Condenser Company payroll holdup of
last Friday, Leroy Jenkins, 23, and Joseph
Putek, 23, South Camden
police characters, tomorrow will be given a police court hearing. Police
admit their evidence against the pair is "flimsy" but hope to
be able to hold them in high bail pending further investigation. Detectives
Clarence Arthur and Clifford
Del Rossi,
who have worked almost unceasingly to solve the crime, admitted last
night they "had possibilities" for today. They
declared they have unearthed a South Camden garage man who will testify
at the hearing that he rented a garage to Jenkins, in which a dark
automobile, similar to the one used in the holdup, is stored at the
present time. The
detectives have also found a special officer, they said, who will
testify to having seen the two suspects riding in a small black car in
the vicinity of the Condenser concern's plant a short time before the
holdup. The suspects' mannerisms and voices have been identified by, the ten office employees, victims of the two bandits staging the holdup. Further identification was impossible because the bandits wore hoods over their heads and down to their shoulders. |

HOLDUP AT RADIO PLANT Two Camden
youths, released from Camden county jail, were held by local police
yesterday on suspicion of implication in the $11,790 holdup of the Radio
Condenser Company, Thorne and
streets, last Friday. They
are Leon Grinkewicz, 18, of 1469
Street, and
Geda, 19, of
1273 Whitman
Avenue. Although both
denied knowledge of the payroll holdup, detectives said they admitted
having been close pals of Leroy Jenkins, 23; of 1161 Mechanic Street,
and Joseph Putek, 23, of 1462
Louis Street, who were arrested in Lykens, Pa., on Monday. Grinkewicz
and Geda are being held on suspicion but, according to Detectives Clarence Arthur; Benjamin
Simon and Clifford
Del Rossi, they will be charged today with
being material witnesses, while Jenkins and Putak will be charged with
the holdup and will be arraigned in police court. Grinkwicz and
Geda were arrested yesterday morning on their release from county jail.
They had been committed May 9 by Recorder Joseph Patton, of Haddon
Heights, for 30 days on charges of loitering with intent to steal. They were questioned all
day by detectives.
Detectives said they learned Jenkins and Putak were with Grinkewicz and Geda in Haddon Heights "to do a job" but that the other two disappeared when Grinkewicz and Geda were arrested. Although they were in the county jail at the time, the detectives said they learned they had participated with Jenkins and Putak in planning the Radio Condenser job five weeks ago. |

OFFlCE RAN
SACKED IN MYSTERY THEFT Burglars
ransacked the offices of the Camden
County Beverage Company early yesterday but what they took, if
anything, had not been disclosed late last night. In a mystery
"robbery" that has police puzzled, the thieves broke through a
glass window on the rear loading platform, climbed inside and proceeded
to turn three different offices of the brewery "inside out" in
their quest. The handle off
the huge safe in the wall of the first-floor office, was broken, but the
safe had not been opened according to Detectives Benjamin
Simon and Clifford Del
Rossi. But it, appeared to have been the only
thing not opened by the intruders. Waste Baskets
Searched Filing cabinets
and desk drawers were pulled out and their contents littered the floor.
Even a wastebasket had been searched and its contents strewn about. Apparently
finding nothing of value on the first floor, the thieves, or thief
made their way to the second floor where another office of the concern
was ransacked from top to bottom. Entrance to the brewery was made
between 6 a. m. and 7 a. m. A watchman, Richard McKinley, who lives at
550 Chelton Avenue left the building at 6 o'clock and Olaf J. Hall, a bookkeeper arrived
there at 7. a.m. Hall went immediately to a second
floor office where he saw several of the
filing cabinets and desks had been gone through, but he failed to report
it to his, superiors. According to
Frank R. Allison, secretary and treasurer of the brewery, Hall believed
someone connected with the brewery had been searching for something, and
being in a hurry had forgotten to replace things as he found them. The
"robbery" was not noticed until Nicholas Enderle, brewmaster,
entered the building shortly before noon. He saw the offices on the
first. floor in disorder and notified Allison. The latter
notified police, who could not learn whether anything of value had been
stolen. Were Seeking Papers Detective Simon advanced a
theory that the thieves had, been in search of valuable papers, rather
than cash. McKinley was
questioned at the plant and declared that everything was "in
order" when he left. He said two police dogs were left on the rear
platform to guard against thieves. Later it was learned the dogs
followed McKinley to his home. The Camden
County Beverage Company has been cited by the government on a rule to
show cause why its 3.2 beer permit should not be revoked. The hearing on
the citation was, scheduled for May 22, but, has been postponed
indefinitely to await the conclusion of other citation hearings. Allison said he did not know of any valuable papers that would interest thieves. He expressed belief the robbers sought collections made by drivers on Saturday and kept in the brewery office until the banks open on Monday.

REFUSES TO LET COPS BARE HOLDUP EVIDENCE After
refusing defense counsel's request that the city police bare their
evidence, Police Judge Pancoast
yesterday held two suspects without bail in the recent $11,790 Radio
Condenser Company holdup and two other youths as material witnesses.
M. Lario, attorney for the quartet, appeared in police court
yesterday with William McDonald, court stenographer, and declared he
wanted the police through witnesses on the stand, to reveal what
evidence they have in the robbery. But
when Judge Pancoast
asked Lario if he was willing to have the prisoners submit to cross
examination by the court the attorney refused. Judge Pancoast
thereupon declared that the formal complaints against the defendants
were sufficient to establish a prima facie case, that no hearing was
necessary and that the police therefore were not obliged to disclose
any testimony. Leroy
Jenkins, 23, and, Joseph
Putek, 23, who gave addresses at 1113 Mechanic
Street and 1212 Lansdowne
Avenue, respectively, were committed
to the county jail without bail on charges of holdup and robbery.
They pleaded not guilty. Those
held as material witnesses were Leon
Grenkwicz, 18, of 1469 Louis
Street, and
Stanley Geda, 19, of 1273 Whitman
Avenue. Lario pointed out they were in jail when the holdup
occurred but, Judge Pancoast
said he would hold them for the prosecutor's office which would
probably fix bail for them. City
Detective Benjamin Simon,
who signed the complaints, stated prior to the hearing that he has
obtained information from North Jersey which is vital to his
investigation of the robbery. But he would not reveal its nature. None of the money stolen by the bandits, who herded 11 persons in a vault after forcing one of them to open the safe containing the payroll, has been recovered by the police. |

FIFTH SUSPECT HELD IN PAYROLL HOLDUP A fifth man was arrested in the recent Radio Condenser Company $11,790 payroll holdup and held as a material witness yesterday after city detectives alleged he attempted to escape from them in his automobile. He is Nicholas Kubiak, 34, of 1301 Decatur street, owner of a pool room on the corner of Decatur and Norris streets. Arraigned, before Judge Pancoast in police court, Kubiak was committed to the county jail without bail as a witness. City Detectives Benjamin Simon, Clifford Del Rossi and Clarence Arthur stated they went to the pool room this morning and told Kubiak he was under arrest. He accompanied them to the sidewalk and suddenly stepped into his own automobile parked at the curb. The detectives said he started the engine, whereupon the police car was driven in front of him so he couldn't move. Simon declared that he jumped on the running board of Kubiak's car and reached in to grab the ignition key. Kubiak tried to push him off the running board. Simon said, and the key was obtained only after a tussle. Simon said he has three statements signed by persons who charged they heard Kubiak declare the holdup was planned in his poolroom and that Leroy Jenkins and Joseph Putek were the actual bandits. Jenkins and Putek are charged with the holdup and are held under $3000 bail each. The bail was fixed by Prosecutor Baldwin. Simon stated he previously had questioned Kubiak, but could learn nothing to warrant holding the man until he received the statements late last night. Simon said if he had been able to obtain the statements prior to yesterday, he doubted that bail would have been fixed so low. Two other youths, arrested as material witnesses in the case, were released by Prosecutor Baldwin today under $500 bail each. They are Leon Grenkwicz, 18, of 1469 Louis Street, and Stanley Geda, 19, of 1273 Whitman avenue. |

MAN JAILED 6 MONTHS FOR THEFT OF WATCH Found guilty of stealing $25 and a wrist watch from a man who came to Camden for liquid refreshments John Cheek, 27, colored, of 735 Kaighn Avenue, was sentenced to six months in jail by Judge Garfield Pancoast in Camden Police Court yesterday. His accuser, William Henninger, of Ardmore, Pennsylvania, was roundly scored by Judge Pancoast for coming here to drink beer, and was warned to stay away from Camden. Henninger said Cheek attacked and robbed him near Second and Pine Streets. John Barton, 25, of 830 South Second Street, and Viola Lewis, 39, of 315 Division Street, both colored, who were arrested on suspicion, were exonerated and freed. Detective Benjamin Simon said the stolen wrist watch and $3.75 were found on Cheek.. |
Mystery shots that splintered the door of a South Camden home yesterday started the police on a search for a group of youths seen loitering in the neighborhood. Mrs. James Falconiero, of 354 Cherry Street, reported to Detective Benjamin Simon that she was awakened at 5 a. m., by a series of shots. She said she looked out a window and saw several young men entering an automobile a short distance from her home. An inspection of the front of the house revealed several holes in the door caused by bullets. One missile, of 38-calibre was found buried in the plaster in the hallway. |

RCA VICTOR; PROBE STARTED Nearly
100 Camden factory and shipyard workers were poisoned yesterday after
eating food contained in box lunches. More
than 60 of the workers, stricken at their machines in. the RCA Victor
Company plants, were rushed to the company's dispensary and local
hospitals. Many are reported in serious condition. At
the New York Shipbuilding Company others became ill after partaking of
the lunches. Four are in West. Jersey
Homeopathic Hospital recovering from the effects of the poisoned
food. At least three more were stricken at the leather plant of the John
R. Evans Company, Second and Erie Streets. In
Philadelphia more than a score of laundry workers were carried to
physicians and hospitals, all said to be victims of contaminated foods. Dr.
David D. Helm, city sanitary inspector, believed the ptomaine
condition resulted from the eating of egg sandwiches. Dr.
along with Sergeant Rox Saponare
and detectives, last night questioned Ray Konst, 3313
Street, Philadelphia, owner of a Philadelphia box lunch concern. Put
Ban on Sales Following the quizzing, Konst was ordered to refrain from further selling of the box lunches in Camden, pending the result of an investigation. He also must obtain complete approval from the Philadelphia Board of Health before being allowed to resume operations here. The boxes, distributed by Konst, are labeled "The Majestic Lunch." Konst declared that never before had complaint reached him as to the quality of his food. "I
have ordered distribution of Majestic Lunches in Camden be stopped," Dr.
Helm said, "until the investigation
has been completed and the health authorities in Philadelphia to whom
all evidence will be given because they supervise this company, give
them a clean bill of health."
Two of the box lunches have been obtained by police and will be chemically analyzed today by order of Dr. A. L. Stone, city health officer. Konst
assured police he would assist in any manner possible to learn the
source and nature of the foodstuff causing the illness. Woman
First Victim 'The first illness occurred shortly after 3 p. m. at the RCA Victor plant. A young woman was overcome after partaking of a glass of water. She was taken to the dispensary where Dr. Reuben L. Sharp said she was suffering from ptomaine poisoning. Within
a short time several other girls and men in various sections of the
plant were stricken. Some fainted at their machines and had to be
carried to the dispensary. Soon
Dr. Sharp and his staff of nurses had more than, they could handle.
Private automobiles were pressed into service and many of the victims
taken to Cooper
where stomach pumps were used to clear their bodies of the poisonous
food. One
man, B. H. Poole, 40, of
144 North Sixtieth street, Philadelphia, was admitted and
his condition described as serious. Others were treated and sent to their homes, where many were attended last night by their personal physicians. Girl
Describes Scene Miss Clara. Shaeffer, 19, of 226 South Fifth Street, Gloucester, employed at the RCA Victor, told of the scenes near her shortly before she became ill and was rushed to Cooper Hospital for treatment. "I
saw many of the girls running upstairs to the restroom," Miss
Schaeffer said at her home, where she is confined to bed, "but paid
little attention to them, although several had to be assisted up the steps. "Suddenly
I felt sick at my stomach and had a desire for a drink of
I asked the girl next to me to get me a drink, but she was unable to
leave her machine at the time and I
to the fountain. "After
taking the drink everything seemed to whirl about and I
I was
going to faint. I told my foreman and he ordered me taken to the
dispensary. "When
I arrived
there the place was filled and someone took me to Cooper
Hospital, where the doctor gave me some medicine and I was taken to
my home." Miss
Schaeffer said she grew worse after she arrived home and her parents
summoned a physician. Fall
at Machines Others told similar stories of the scenes as worker after worker was stricken. Plant officials said many had fallen where they stood, the ptomaine attack seizing them so suddenly they had no time to summon aid. Konst
told Detectives Benjamin Simon
and John Opfer that he sells
more than 200 box lunches in Camden daily. He has agents at the RCA
plants, New York Shipyard and at the leather companies. He
sells more than 500 box lunches daily in Philadelphia. The
lunch yesterday was made up of a cheese sandwich, an egg and lettuce
sandwich, a piece of apple pie, cupcake and fruit. Some of the lunches
contained tuna fish sandwiches. Man's
Condition Serious According
to Dr.
all of those taken ill had eaten the egg sandwiches, some had partaken
of the tuna fish and others of the cheese. One man became ill when he ate half an egg sandwich given him by a fellow employee late in the afternoon. The
laundry workers affected were employed at the Forrest Laundry, 1225
West Columbia Avenue, Philadelphia. One of these, John Gilligan, 52, of 1923 East Willard Street, was taken to St. Luke's and Children's Homeopathic Hospital in a critical condition. Police were checking other hospitals to learn if additional victims were unreported. |

Detectives He Called Saps Turn Tables on Suspect Anthony Gibbons, 35, of 1332 Decatur Street, has learned that calling detectives saps is a very "sappy" remark to make- he is now in the city jail on charges of possessing stolen goods. Last Wednesday the automobile of John Harwan, of 1317 Sheridan Street, was stolen from Van Hook Street and Mt. Ephraim Avenue. It was recovered Thursday with four wheels and tires missing. Charles Reynolds, of 1331 Van Hook Street was arrested and sentenced to six months. Gibbons, was suspected of having the wheels and, tires. He was questioned Thursday night and released by Detectives Benjamin Simon and Clifford Del Rossi after denial. The two detectives then heard via the "grapevine" that Gibbons called them "saps." So they shadowed him all day Saturday and discovered him making several visits at the home of Vito Balducci, 1329 Decatur Street. An investigation of the cellar of Balducci's home revealed the missing tires and wheels. Simon and Del Rossi said that Balducci was an innocent party to the crime and did not know Gibbons had placed the articles in his cellar. Michael Reggiero, of 327 Sycamore Street, told the detectives he saw Gibbons taking the tires and wheels into the house while Balducci was out.. |
PEDDLING RADIO Two youths were arrested late last night on suspicion of stealing a radio when one of them was interrupted by detectives while attempting to sell it. Detectives Benjamin Simon, Clifford Del Rossi and Robert Ashenfelter became suspicious of a car parked at Norris and Sheridan Streets. The occupant, Stephen Stanziak, 19, of 1279 Sheridan Street, said he was waiting for a companion who was in the store of Michael Gucik, northeast corner of Norris and Sheridan Streets. The detectives entered the store and found Joseph Fiume, 16, of 1349 Van Hook Street, attempting to sell a radio to Gucik. The youths said it had been given to them by a man they did not know. |

4 Hurt as Auto Strikes Pole Strewing Live Wires on Road Four persons in a small coupe were injured last night when the machine crashed into a pole at Seventeenth Street and Admiral Wilson Boulevard during a dense fog. The car broke off a telephone pole at the base, strewing live wires on the highway. Traffic was detoured until the damage could be repaired by Bell Telephone Company linemen. The fog, which covered Camden and its suburbs like a blanket, grounded air liners at Central Airport, slowed up motor traffic on highways and the Camden bridge. Thomas Tomlinson, 18, of Oak Avenue, Delaware Township, was taking driving lessons in a car he purchased a week ago when he crashed into the pole. Police said three passengers were crowded in the front seat and three more in a rumble seat. Tomlinson was driving on a student's permit and was accompanied by Allen Filer, 20, a licensed driver, of 713 Grant Street, police learned, Filer is in Cooper Hospital with a fractured right leg. His brother, William, 18, suffered a possible concussion of the brain and is in the same hospital. Tomlinson received bruises of the right leg and arm and was treated at Cooper Hospital. Samuel McCall, 18, of 708 Bailey Street, was taken to West Jersey Hospital, where he was treated for cuts of the nose. He told police there that someone struck him with a bottle and he would get his assailant later. When taken to police headquarters. McCall was confronted by the others and admitted he was injured in the automobile accident, City Detective Benjamin Simon said. Mary Williamson, 18, and Eleanor Shockley, 16, both of 625 North Front Street, escaped with a few minor bruises. Delaware river ferryboats were operated with caution as the view of pilots was obscured, by the density of the fog. Whistles were blown continuously and fog bells rang throughout the night. Automobiles and buses were slowed down to five miles an hour by thick fog in the suburbs, especially in lowlands and near meadows. The airport reported all local planes grounded and no airliners were making a call here. The Weather Bureau forecast indicated it will be colder and cloudy today. The cloudiness will increase tomorrow followed by rain at night. |

YOUTHS ARRESTED AS HOLDUP SUSPECTS Police believed they had frustrated the formation of hoodlum bandit mob yesterday with the arrest of five South Camden youths after a holdup of a grocery store at Tenth Street and Ferry Avenue. Two of the five suspects were identified by the grocer, John Jacobs, as the bandits who entered his store at 960 Ferry Avenue, held him up at gun point and escaped with $23.95. , Jacobs told Detectives Heber McCord and Clarence Arthur that he recognized one of the bandits as Anthony Mona, 19, of 947 South Third Street, a former boxer, whom he saw fighting in the ring, McCord said. A radio call was sent to all cars to pick up Mona. A short time later, District Detectives Leon Branch and John Houston arrested Mona as he was eating in a restaurant near Broadway and Kaighn Avenue. After questioning by McCord and Arthur, Mona implicated the others. They are Dominick Spinagotti, 17, of 251 Mt. Vernon street; Vito Brandimorto, 20, of 245 Chestnut Street; Salvatore Martorano, 21, of 344 Cherry Street, and Victor Labato, 19, of 274 Mt. Vernon street. Mona was searched in the detective bureau. Police found $6.65 in change in his pockets. The others were rounded up at their homes by Detective Sergeant Benjamin Simon and Detectives Joseph Mardino and Robert Ashenfelder. According to Simon the youths were "just beginning to embark on a career of crime." When the others were brought to the detective bureau for questioning, all but $2 of the loot was recovered, Detective McCord said. McCord said the youths signed statements saying Mona and Labato entered the store while the others waited in Mona's car outside the store, all fleeing together after the holdup. |

Middleton Felled by Gas In House Here With gas flowing from a pipe detached from a gas range, former City Commissioner Melbourne F. Middleton, Jr., was found unconscious in the kitchen of his former home at 538 Cooper street early Saturday night. Middleton was reported last night to still be in a critical condition at West Jersey Hospital, where he was taken. The Camden Fire Department First Aid Squad worked over him for an hour at the house in a vain effort to revive him. Middleton, a former president of the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, and one time city councilman, was found by a son, C. Barry Middleton, and a friend, John Williams Rossell, who lives with the Middletons on Laurel road, Moorestown. Middleton was clad in overalls and two large pipe wrenches were lying on the kitchen floor near him. Young Middleton said his father told his family he intended to take up some linoleum in the kitchen of his former home. Middleton first went to his office Saturday and then to St. Paul's Episcopal Church to a service. From there he was traced to his former home, which is owned by him. When Middleton failed to return home for dinner at the usual time Saturday his son and Rossell decided to search for him. When young Middleton discovered his father's plight he notified police. Patrolmen Frank Cavallo, Henry Lutz, Walter Vecander and George Getley responded in radio cars and gave first aid until the fire department squad arrived. The firemen worked on the former commissioner one hour with an inhalator before ordering his removal to the hospital, where they continued to work on Middleton for another hour but were unable to revive him. Hospital physicians continued working on him without success. They said his condition was critical. Gas Man Called At
4 p. m. Saturday the family living next to Middlemen's home telephoned
Public Service that gas was coming from the house. Public Service sent a
man to investigate but he was unable to get into the house. Young
Middleton and Rossell said they reached the house at 6.17 p. m. While he was a member of the first city commission Middleton was director of finance but never missed responding to all alarms of fire. He was a member of the fire committee while serving in City Council as a member from the Second ward. In that capacity he also answered all alarms. Members of the Firemen's First Aid Squad responding to the call were Deputy Chief William R. Harring, Hosemen Christopher Moll, William Spencer, Harry Haines, Russell Anderson, William Harry Deitz and Nelson Andrews. City
Detectives Benjamin Simon, Joseph
Mardino and William Marter
are investigating the cause. |

The online learning environment can be a demanding one. Even with the latest advances in technology, we all run into glitches but still want them solved… yesterday. Save yourself a couple of HelpDesk tickets and frantic phone calls with these 10 foolproof resolutions to your technical issues.
Technical Issue #1: I can't submit/upload my course assignments or drag and drop, and the page keeps getting stuck.
Solution: Are you using Internet Explorer as your browser? If you've ever experienced a myEdison® login fail, the inability to submit/upload course assignments, continually received a spinning loading icon or a missing submit button, the problem is normally caused by compatibility issues between Internet Explorer and Moodle. Switch your web browser to either Mozilla Firefox (download it for free, here) or Google Chrome (download it for free, here) to better function with the College's Moodle system.
Technical Issue #2: The Moodle App doesn't work to access courses on my mobile device!
Solution: The Moodle App (from the iOS or Android app store) is not configured for the College's courses at this time, but you can still log into your courses with your mobile device. If you are using an:
For iPhone/iPad users: Download Google Chrome for iPhone (download it for free, here), and go to "my.tesc.edu." The mobile page will load; go to browser settings and select "Request Desktop Site." (The browser settings icon is composed of three horizontal lines and can be found in the top right corner of your browser window.) The desktop version should load at that point. This will allow you to log in and access your courses.
For Android device users: From the main Android browser, go to "my.tesc.edu" and log in to the portal; the mobile page will load. Bring up your browser settings, and select "Request Mobile Site." The page will reload with the desktop version.
Technical Issue #3: I can log into Moodle but keep getting an error message whenever I click on my courses.
Solution: Re-enter your credentials if you are getting this message:
Click on the GRAY "Enter your credentials" link on the error screen above and you will come to this screen.
Re-enter your credentials, including:
- Windows User Name: firstname.lastname (no students\)
- Windows Password: (Your Password)
- Confirm Windows Password: (Your Password)
Technical Issue #4: I can't find my College email account.
Solution: Your student email account can only be found within the myEdison® portal.
To access it, log into the College portal (my.tesc.edu). Look along the bottom left side where you'll see a block called "My unread messages." Click the link inside of this block, and a new window will open, taking you to your College email account (which is also part of Google Apps). Along the top of this window you will also find the Google Apps navigation, which includes your Drive, Calendar and more!
Technical Issue #5: I'm overloaded with email notifications every time my classmates post in the course discussion boards.
Solution: You can control your email notifications through three options within your profile settings: email display, email digest type and forum auto-subscribe. To find these notification settings, click on "Edit profile" within the settings block. These settings control how often you receive an email, what email account is used, what the email contains and whether or not you're automatically subscribed to a forum in which you post.
You can also unsubscribe within the individual forums. Once you're inside the forum, look along the left side for a link that says "Unsubscribe from this forum." You can click this link to unsubscribe. For instructional videos on how to manage your profile and forum settings, visit the Moodle Video Help Site.
Technical Issue #6: I'm trying to copy and paste my assignment from a Word document into my course discussion board.
Solution: Using right click and selecting copy/paste will not work. When copying and pasting into Moodle, you will need to use keyboard commands. You can copy by pressing Ctrl+C and paste using Ctrl+V.
Technical Issue #7: I need to schedule my course midterm and final exam.
Solution: Visit the ProctorU site and create an account or log in using your ProctorU user ID and password. Select the "New exam" tab and choose your semester. Be sure to pick the right semester, as that will determine the available test dates you see. Then choose the course and exam you would like to schedule. Select a date from the calendar and a time from the drop down menu. Available dates can be seen in blue and any available slots will be shown in the drop down menu. Click "Add reservation" to add your appointment.
If you need help scheduling an appointment with ProctorU, you can call them at 205-870-8122 or email them at firstname.lastname@example.com. Questions regarding the format of your midterm, final or any test-related inquiry can be sent to the Office of Test Administration at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Technical Issue #8: I need to schedule an academic advising appointment.
Solution: Advising can assist with planning a degree program, provide course advisement and confirm completion of your graduation requirements, however, before you schedule an appointment, you must first be enrolled as a student. You can make an advising appointment by logging into your myEdison® account with students\firstname.lastname and the same password you use for Online Student Services. Scroll down to "Tools & Forms" and you will see the option, "Make an Advising Appointment." Login with your College ID number and last name. You can then select your degree program, preferred advisor and the type of appointment you would like to make. You can also view any advisor's profile, and select a day and time to speak with them that accommodates your schedule.
Technical Issue #9: I can't log in to my Online Student Services account?
Solution: If this is your first time logging into the new Online Student Services site, you will be asked to create your login information. To establish your User ID, use your last name and SSN or College ID. Students will use firstname.lastname as a User ID. You will be emailed a temporary password, and then asked to change it upon your first login. Your new password must be between 6-9 characters in length, and comprised of letters and numbers.
If you have already established your User ID and do not remember your password, you can view your password hint or reset it under the "User Account" section at any time.
Technical Issue #10: I am trying to buy my course materials.
Solution: You can order your textbooks and course materials through the MBS Direct Book Store. First select the appropriate term, and then enter the course codes for your courses. Each course code begins with a three letter departmental code (representing the department in which the course is academically based) and followed by three digits to signify the course level. The required texts will then populate and made available for purchase through the site. However, if you are taking a Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) course, you will not have course materials. If you are taking a TECEP® exam, the test description will include a list of exam topics, suggested study materials, information about the test format and sample test questions.

A group of influential travel agents from Germany visited Northern Ireland last week. They were the top performers in Tourism Ireland's online training programme for German travel agents on selling holidays to Northern Ireland and the island of Ireland. Selected by Tourism Ireland from over 1,000 participants, their reward was a fact-finding visit around Northern Ireland.
The agents' itinerary, which was designed by the Northern Ireland Tourist Board, included a sightseeing tour of Belfast, a drive along the Causeway Coastal Route to the Giant's Causeway, Bushmills Distillery and Mussenden Temple. They also took in the Walled City of Derry and the Tower Museum before completing the trip in Fermanagh where they enjoyed a boat trip on Lough Erne and a guided tour of Castle Coole.
Barbara Wood, Tourism Ireland Germany, said: "As a reward for completing their training on selling the island of Ireland, these travel agents have the opportunity to experience the tourism product in Northern Ireland at first-hand. Visits such as this are extremely important as they help the travel agents to know exactly what Northern Ireland has to offer potential German holidaymakers; our aim is that when they return home they are better equipped to advise their clients when planning and booking their holidays."
Germany is the world's largest outbound travel market and an important source of visitors for Northern Ireland and the island of Ireland. Tourism Ireland has had a busy promotional programme in Germany right throughout 2010, showcasing the uniqueness of a holiday in Northern Ireland and around the island of Ireland.

Girl/girl action in groups of two and more. Erotic.
Watching a trio of girls tongue kiss is a fine warm-up for the more intense all-girl groping and slurping that follows. Most of this is pretty good stuff - even if, after a while, it all kinda blends together. A few of the girls appear to linger on the other's forms a bit more than needed to produce a scene (especially in the behind the scenes portion), so a safe bet would be that some consider this as more than just a job - as a (sexual) all-girl adventure.

He didn't know anything about mmi, as he called it, but he didn't diss the sport. He's just unaware of its popularity. I guess he lives in a bubble.
bagboy November 21, 2013
I'm guessing since he referred to it as MMI that he has hardly any knowledge at all of MMA and should be the last one they interview on the subject.

Did he say MMI?! I stopped the video there because how informed of an answer can a person possibly give if they don't even know to say MMA?

These comparisons are dumb. Anyone with half a brain knows MMA is the future. There will always be boxing, judo, BJJ, wrestling, but combing them all is just the best of all worlds.

The interviewer is Australian and he is a goose. I am a unbiased fan of Boxing and of MMA but these comparisons from Boxing guys have to stop, they are so dumb and they end up sounding jealous. Its these sort of rubbish comparisons that turns me away from Boxing. Why don't they compare it like this, What were MMA fighters earning 10 years ago to what their earning now. With the growth of the sport at the rate its going what will they earn in another 10 years?

Don't get me wrong I love boxing but these old commentators who are the kind of guy to say Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano would still domanite in boxing are a dying breed. He looked so pathetic when he was saying MMI instead of MMA when he clearly knew it was MMA. Like a little child mocking another kid's name. His head is so far up his ass he doesn't even know the example he gave is totally wrong. Except Pacquiao, Mayweather and the Clinchkos, name me one guy who gets recongnized internationally?? None. But you go almost anywhere in the world and people know at least a couple of champions, not just 3 fighters… Like a said old dinosaurs on their way out. Even pro boxers respect MMA now. And the ones who don't are just scared to lose their place so they talk shit about it.

Lawyers for ex-officers Franklin Mata and Kenneth Moreno filed papers today asking a judge to toss their misdemeanor convictions for technical reasons.
They say they may raise more questions after assessing unaired footage related to the case from a documentary about the Manhattan district attorney's sex crimes unit. Prosecutors gave them the material yesterday.
Prosecutors have two weeks to respond in court. A judge may rule in August, when the two are now due to be sentenced.
The case stems from the officers' December 2008 encounter with a drunken woman they were called to help get home.

What was learned: A group of researchers, including MU marketing professor S. "Ratti" Ratneshwar, discovered that smells can enhance brand recall and recognition.
How we know: Ratneshwar and Maureen Morrin, a marketing professor at Rutgers University in Camden, N.J., conducted two studies to examine the effects of scent on memory for brands. In controlled lab experiments, participants evaluated photographs of familiar and novel products they saw on the computer screen while the computer measured the time the participants viewed the brand. For some participants, a hidden diffuser released a low level of fragrance into the room during the viewing process.
Participants returned the following day and were given a surprise memory test, where they had to recall and recognize brands from the previous day. The researchers found that accuracy in both tasks increased significantly among the participants whose rooms were scented.
What it means: "Our results suggest that a pleasant scent causes participants to spend more time viewing the brands, thereby causing recall and recognition to increase simply because they spent more time in a particular environment," Ratneshwar said. "Humans who are in an enjoyable environment will spend more time in it, possibly subconsciously."
Why it matters: Environmental fragrancing is becoming a common practice in service-oriented businesses such as casinos and stores. "Our study suggests that ambient scents may help to keep people in such environments longer," Ratneshwar said. "It is a somewhat controversial practice with obvious ethical concerns. Also, some people may be allergic; it is not as if you can get everybody's consent."
Where to find more information: This research has been published in the "Journal of Marketing Research."

Vandals Trash More Than 40 Cars in Miami
Published March 7th, 2014
Loading Video...
MIAMI- Coming out of South Florida this morning, police say more than forty vehicles were burglarized early Thursday morning at a Little Havana parking garage.
One resident said both of his cars had the windows smashed and a camera stolen.
A hammer found on the ground in the garage may have been used to smash the windows.
Police are now reviewing surveillance video hoping to find anything.

Snowclearing and driving headaches
I don't know if anyone has noticed how bad our street cleaning service has been this winter.
Every time there has been a parking ban on the street I live on for the purpose of snow clearing, I have moved my car to make sure that it is not in the way. However, the street has yet to be cleaned on the day specified. It has always been cleaned on an evening or night when nobody moves their cars because it isn't the date set for the parking ban.
I have to wonder why they have specific dates set for specific streets for clearing snow if the workers don't show up to do the job on that date.
I live in the West End of Winnipeg, in the Minto area, and many of the streets here have such big ruts it is dangerous to drive on them. In some places the ruts are so deep that if you try to get out of them to yield to an oncoming car, your car slides all over the place. Sometimes you can't even get out and then you either have to drive forward or back up.
Sliding and slipping, in a car, all over the street, is not my idea of having fun.
Also, there are many drivers who do not yield to oncoming traffic when they should. I am really sick and tired of how many drivers just think they own the road.
Many drivers just keep driving even though by law they should yield and they have plenty of room to move over to their side of the street.
This doesn't just happen in the winter — it happens all year round.
Once I was driving on my side of the street and two cars were coming toward me, in my lane. Neither wanted to move out of the way even though they had plenty an opportunity to do so. Both drivers, who happened to be men, came to my window and demanded that I back up.
Well, I wasn't the one in the wrong here and I didn't see their reasoning for not yielding as they should have.
In the end I did back up, as I had an appointment to keep.
This kind of behaviour is unacceptable in my view. What does this say for 'Friendly Manitoba?'
Why do we have traffic laws? Isn't it so that people can drive safely and isn't there such a thing as courtesy in traffic anymore?

I hope that my efforts as a FF will help win the respect of my companys but what about the officers that I have joined. Will I have to prove myself to them just as I have proven myself to my fellow grunts.

It's frequently the case that the things that make a car special have nothing to do with its ability to go fast, corner hard
and look like a million bucks. There's something else at play, some indefinable "X-factor" that takes a car to the next level, so to speak. It's an automobile's ability to create an emotional connection that helps it to become more than just a conglomeration of metal, glass and plastic pieces. Yes, it is possible for a machine to have charisma, and the best vehicles have it.
Of course, it doesn't hurt if that emotional connection comes wrapped in a package that can go fast, corner hard and looks like a million bucks. Nissan's 370Z Roadster stands out as an example of a car that combines these assets into a single package. The 370Z has been with us for a couple of years, and given the car's sexy lines and general lust for performance it's no surprise that it has gone topless. Combining the 370Z's retro-futuristic looks and fun-to-drive road manners with a bit of extra sun is practically a no brainer.
More than anything else, the
Z Roadster is a car that knows how to make you like it; it wants to be friends. The styling borrows in equal measure from classic Nissan Z-cars and the most recent 350Z, resulting in a slick envelope body with muscular curves. The boomerang-shaped headlamp units seem to point the way down the long hood and arched front fenders to a compact passenger cabin. With the soft top in place, the Z Roadster is distinguished from the coupe by its notchback tail and trunk. The wide rear fenders give this car a big posterior, but the look is powerful.
Drop the top, and the roof disappears beneath a hard tonneau cover that gives the 370Z Roadster a twin-cockpit look. The power roof is slow, and clunks into place with a roughness that's somewhat disproportionate to this car's cost, but once inside the cabin with the sun shining in, that seems like a distant concern.
The mesh-backed seats are comfortable and resist heating up in direct sunlight, while the businesslike dash with its three gauge pods and matte metal trim is a constant reminder of the Z Roadster's mission in life. This is a two-seater, with decent interior room and even a few cubbies for essentials. Pushbutton start is standard; XM Satellite Radio and a navigation system are optional.
Of course, it wants to go and play as well, and it's more than ready to do that. The 3.7-litre V6 under the hood is a powerful and refined engine that's well suited to hard driving. With 332 horsepower on tap, the 370Z Roadster is a bona fide sports car, ripping off effortlessly giggle-inducing zero-to-hundred runs and capable of providing significant thrust throughout the rev range. It sounds good while doing it, too.
The six-speed manual transmission includes Nissan's SynchroRev Match, which automatically matches engine revs to wheel speed when you downshift -- in effect, the car hits a perfect heel-toe downshift for you, every time. It's a neat trick, and the burp through the dual exhaust sounds cool, too. A seven-speed automatic is also available. Power gets to the ground through the rear wheels, and Nissan's Vehicle Dynamic Control is standard, so it'll behave in bad weather.
Not that this car needs much encouragement to behave. The 370Z Roadster is a well balanced car, just like the coupe. The suspension consists of double wishbones up front and a multilink rear, but the engineering terms don't tell half of the story. The Z Roadster must be experienced. Take it down your favorite
twisty road and it's stable, with no hint of cowl shake even on rough roads. Lightening and stiffening measures, including an aluminum hood and structural reinforcements to the A-pillar and side sills, are to thank for the convertible's taut response. The tight suspension and stiff body make the Z Roadster a communicative and fun to drive car. This is the sort of car that seems to read your mind when driving at speed, heightening that "just right" emotional connection to the driver.
The best sports cars are more than the sum of a lot of performance parts. Nissan has hit on an outstanding combination of ability and performance with the 370Z Roadster. Pricing starts at $46,998.

Department: Wind & Brass - Clarinet
Publisher: Weinberger
"This is a remarkable set of pieces for clarinet and harp/piano. It is a suite of 5 lasting about 7-8 minutes. The opening Prelude is the longest of the collection at around two and a half minutes, give or take. Shortest only runs about 35 seconds or so. I opened my undergrad senior recital with it and it was a smash hit. I highly recommend using a harpist as the collaborative artist as the colors of clarinet and harp are absolutely magnificent. It isn't very difficult to put together, nor is it technically demanding. The demands seem to lie much more in intonation and a simply having a good ear for intervals. A solid work for high school students solo/ensemble performance or for a graduate recital. It is definetely deserving of much more attention than it receives. You won't be disappointed with this piece at all."

A heavy ambient setter score for a video game. Enjoy!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Midnight. Stranded in the dark forest, in the middle of enemy territory. Flashlight batteries running low. Still, you have to carry out your mission, or else the fate of this world will be grim... yes, the music that you hear all around you COULD loop seamlessly, but you have more important things to think of, as you are approaching the enemy camp...
Bookmarked and tagged for #gamedev. Still, please reconsider looping :]
Hehe, I like the story! I am always glad when my soundtracks can create such vivid images :) Yes, it can most certainly loop - it was designed to loop. I just didn't want to upload 3-4 minutes of repetitive material (that would be kinda boring without a game backing it up xD).
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Wow, I was captivated right from the start when the horn came off. And the drums keep it kinda intense. It's a pretty good piece!
